Ability to visualize

[Ronald Zeeman]

I spent most of my career working on industrial processes . My secret advantage was always to the ability to visualize the process in its entirely and see the weakness and how you first I always keep this quiet, not wanting to give away my trade secret, my employers would get a competitive advantage, my latest position involved putting a quality system together, it was successful that they have no competitors, and currently have a monopoly. l did not document completely the system. They now want to move that system to another plant, unfortunately some key areas were completely in my head and not written down. I am now retired, good luck coping the process. People from other companies are trying to contact me to get me to give them the process that is so mundane.

I am very curious to find others with this ability.

The above was dictated to his wife, Marie, who has tried to type fast enough to get it all down. Sorry for any gramatical errors,

Hello. Yes, I think in pictures. I too visualize processes in my mind and from different angles (like CAD software) and I run through the workings of a prototype all in my head before deciding to create what I've thought about. Generally they're things I rig up out of items I have on hand for farming, etc.

I know Einstein and Tesla both had this ability, the theory of relativity would not exist if not for this.

Good to know, do you like trackers.

Congratulations on your retirement.

I really do like tractors buy books on them, my retirement plans were to visit tractor museums. Covid put an end to that plan,

I don't know a lot about tractors, but I really like the look of old tractors like Allis Chalmers and others. My Dad has an old Ford tractor.

I have an old David Bradley walk behind tractor that was left in our woods by a previous owner. It doesn't run and it's very rusted.

Yes I also think through a process in terms of pictures. I watched the Temple Grandin movie where she visualized the chutes from the perspective of the cows and I do similar things (but not as good as she does!). I am great at gap analysis this way.
